Skip the reading and go straight to the Video. Although, I’ve found that reading each Spanish lesson first, helps in understanding it all.
Monday - Tuesday Monday - Tuesday Wednesday - Wednesday Thursday - Friday Thursday - Friday Saturday - Saturday Sunday - Sunday
All of the days of the week are masculine–el lunes, el martes, etc., so I’ve left that off the list–see my lesson on for a brief explanation. When you want to say “On Saturday…” (or any other day), ‘on’ is equal to el (or los) in Spanish. For example:
On Saturday I go to the beach. - On Saturday I'm going to the beach. We do not work on Fridays. - On Fridays we do not work.
Perhaps you’ve noticed already that in Spanish, the days of the week are not capitalized. Something to be aware of if you want to learn how to write Spanish (or know what you’re looking at when reading Spanish).
January - February January - February March - April March - April May - June May - June July - August July - August September - October September - October November - December November - December
The names of the months in Spanish are also, not capitalized.
So, what do you say if a friend asks you:
"When it is your birthday?" - When is your birthday?
If it’s on Tuesday, the 18th of August, you would say:
"On Tuesday, August 18th." - On Tuesday, the 18th of August.
Note: The literal translation for ‘eighteenth’ (18th) is decimoctava, but I don’t think ordinal numbers are used after ‘tenth’ (décimo(a)) in Spanish–a subject for another lesson.
(The) day - day (the) week - week (the) month - month (the) year - year (the) birthday - birthday
Not too difficult, is it? Well, keep practicing, and…
